Traditional southern style with a little twist at this hidden gem in Costa Mesa. Amazingly good food and a great liquor collection. A place for real people to dine in a fun funky environment

Brunch or late night , Memphis has it going on. Try the Cappucini with brunch--made with real illy espresso & vanilla vodka , it's your dose of caffeine & hair of the dog, all at once!

OC Weekly

The "soul" in the title isn't misleading, but it's worth noting that the food at the mini-chain's darker, cozier, original location is as carefully thought-out as it is deeply felt. Read more

Meatloaf is awesome at $17 on Tuesday it's it's half off so instead of getting a taco Tuesday come to Memphis for the meatloaf

ROBERT MCALAINE

Southern soul BBQ In the OC expertly done. Had the pork short rib platter. Liked. A lot. Next time I'm nearby The Camp, I'll seek to return to Memphis

Listed as OC Weekly's Best Happy Hour of 2012, Memphis can provide you with a cocktail and three-course meal just around $20 during their happy hour !

Mark West

Sit on Patio . The Margarita is ok but the Vodka Bitters cocktail was better. Buffalo Burger a tad greasy. Gumbo was pretty tame. Love this place but bring hipster repellant in case you are allergic

@JaumePrimero

Recently sampled the Bison Burger and was pleasantly surprised. If you are glutton, go for the chili cheese fries .

M W

Really great happy hour . Everything is yummy, you can't go wrong. Apparently the meatloaf is the thing, I loved the shrimp and the sliders . Slow but friendly service . Might become a regular!

Jackson Shaw

Bacon is $2 a slice. And it ain’t “special” bacon ...

Crawfish omelette , eggs Benedict , and their seasonal bread pudding are a few of my favs! Also have great bloody marys and bottomless mimosas .

Kirti D

Brunch until 3pm on weekends, w/ bottomless mimosas for $11! The southern Eggs Benedict will make you sign away your firstborn. Trust me.

OC Weekly

Order the Meatloaf ! The best way to experience it is on the happy hour menu 's appetizer list , where it costs $5 and comes on a crusty baguette . Yum! Read more

Daniel Hatmaker

Make a reservation . Small place. If wanting to pop in be prepared to sit at the bar .

Hyuk Kang

One of the kind porkchop . Other dishes are just alright. I had jambalaya fried chicken and gumbo fries . Wish they serve bread w meals.

The meatloaf sandwich is the perfect grab of a late night snack to go along with a few hoegaarden

Cornbread , brunch , burgers I love this place!

One of the best versions of an Eggs Benedict I've ever had.

Rachel K

Decent mint juleps , except they use cubed ice instead of a wonderful mountain of shaved ice .

Rich D

Have the pulled pork barbecue sandwich and feel like you've stepped into the deep south. Add hush puppies and you're there.

Allison

The bison burger is the best! Ask for it if it's not on the menu—sometimes they'll still have it.

Adrienne Jackson

Soup & sandwich or salad & sandwich lunch specials !
